i am running out of my Quest igniters and my stash of old Estes pyrogens igniters.
Anybody having any luck with clusters using the pyrogens free current Estes Starters?
Things I am already planning
12v system (Pratt Go Box). Runs $45

I really like this system
I have this with the cigarette lighter adapter . I can run this through my car window to the controller, with another 25’ cable to my pad. But I usually plug it into the cigarette lighter slot of my Stanley FatMax jump starter. (Not pluggin Walmart, but details here: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Stanley-FatMax-700-Amp-Peak-Jump-Starter-with-Compressor-J7CS/38243753)
The combo of the Go Box and the jump starter with the cigarette plug adapter makes for a really portable safe system. I like the cigarette plug better than the batter clamps.
I follow der MicroMeister’s advice of inserting igniter all the way to the propellant and using a plug of wadding instead of the Estes plastic plugs.
I have NOT been prescraping the propellant through the nozzle (anybody know if that helps?)
Anyway any others’ experience or tips welcome.
